First time pricking my finger and it’s low?

Question

Hi all - I was diagnosed after my three hour test last Monday. Today I met with my diabetic specialist and got my testing kit. I tested an hour after dinner tonight; we had air fryer chicken wings and a vegetable medley - and my blood sugar was 68. I’m just confused - I thought my blood sugar was going to be high but my monitor said it’s low. Did I do something wrong or could it really have been that low? Or am I doing it right? 😅 so new to this..

Answer

Meat and veggies are both carb free mainly. Depending on what veggies were in the mix. Additionally you’re allowed more carbs in afternoon than morning as body is supposed to handle them better in afternoon. So guessing it was a combo of these things.

Answer

68 is fine. Anywhere btwn 50-140 is ok. But since ur on the lower end u could consider adding timy bit of carbs
